The excitement aroused by the impending
passage and enforcement Of the Coercion
act had spread 70 all parts OF the
country. and was interse ana
tll-concealed. but the rejoicings in LON
don and throughout England and scot
land have awakened siumbering pas
sions and unleashed those which were
only held In check by the restraining in
huence Of some trusted leader. or by the
absence Of provocative. Already the
murmurings Of the people, tho por-
tentous import OF which was well
understood BY the local authori
Of Dublin Castle, whose Official
occupants have hitherto been dear u
warnings, and the feeling OF apprchen-

underlings Of the Irish executive system
